Our most sincere condolences to you, Chad and your family in the loss of your dad. Blessings as you work through his passing.
Lori and family. We are so sorry for your loss of such an amazing, loving man. Pastor Stan was always the one face we were so happy to see at church, and so thankful for the constant love and attention he paid to our family in times of need. He always made us feel like we mattered, that we were loved even from something as simple as a hug, or a hand on the arm. He had a way of making people feel the love of Christ, whom he loved so deeply. We know that same love runs through his family. We will continue to keep you in prayer Lori, in your days to come. Kade sends you extra hugs (He would much rather give them to you in person). Thank you for sharing your husband with the rest of the world who is in so much need of everything Stan had to offer. He left the world a much better place. All our love and prayers, Robert, Corii, Kade and Paxyn Williams

My heart goes out to you, knowing Pastor Stan is in heaven is wonderful, but he will be so missed here. When I think of him, it is with great fondness and love. Lori, I pray that you will find comfort with your family and many, many friends and most of all comfort in Jesus.
Pastor Stan was such a good friend to all of us. He always made us feel important and we loved to share our deepest needs with him as we knew he cared and would pray so faithfully for us. We were all blessed to have known this special man of God and his absence will be deeply felt. We feel so blessed to know Lori as well and will continue to pray for her and his entire family at this very difficult and yet victorious time in their lives.
Dear Lori & Chad & family, Our deepest sympathy and condolences are sent to you today in love & prayers for you as you walk through this most difficult time in the passing of a very dear sweet man of God. Lori, you & Stan were a very special part of our lives over the many years we have known you and your family. Our times together were very special times and we always seem to pick up where we left off when we see you. Isaiah 41:10 says "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." At this difficult time may you find peace in your hearts with the hope we have in knowing Jesus as our Lord & Saviour. We love you and our prayers are with you today and through the weeks to come. Wally & Shirley
Pastor Stan was a wonderful friend and a delightful colleague here at RMCC. Kind and loving to the core, a true representative of Jesus Christ on earth. I'll especially miss the big wave and smile from his corner office, the first greeting when I'd walk through the door in the morning. Stan really exemplified the "heart of a pastor" through his genuine interest, care and concern for all who were fortunate enough to know him. (Provided you weren't the Queen of England, that is; she used to tie knots in his knickers.)
Dear Lori, Val & Ken, Cheryl & Dale, Aunt Agnes and family, Thinking of all of you and praying that you will find comfort in knowing that Stan is safe and free of any sickness in heaven now. May you have peace and rest as God walks with you every step of this difficult journey. He is faithful. Lovingly, Kathy
Auntie Lori, Chad and family We are so very sorry to hear of Uncle Stan's passing. Please know we love you and are praying for peace and comfort for you all at this time. We love you guys. Sarah, Norma and family
Sincere condolences Chad & family and you are in our prayers.
Pastor Stan Block was vey gentle and very kind to us. I believe he has gone home with the LORD. He will be missed! I have know Stan since 2012 at church. My prayers for Lori Block and family during difficult time.
My sincere and deep sympathy to Chad, Janna and all the family for the loss of your loved one. May the love of Christ be your strength and confidence always in these days of grieving as He alone knows the depths of our sorrows. Sending love and prayers.
May the love Stan extended to you while he was with you sustain you during the moments of sudden tears when a voice, a look, a laugh, a whisper brings into reality that he is no longer here to hold and comfort you.
